Revainrating 5 out of 5

Vintage beauty! good for camera and photo

For my daughter's 10th birthday I bought a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 instant camera (pink) and it was "the best present ever!" The camera is a lot , much prettier than the original old Polaroid camera, with a sleek modern design and beautiful colors, but it produces vintage-classic, old-school photos. The best feature is the automatic exposure metering, where the camera signals recommended values. Aperture (best brightness for still photography), blinking LED setting. All you have to do is turn the brightness dial to the "lamp on" position. It helps you get perfect photos every time and is the perfect first camera for kids. It also has a high-key mode that lets you capture brighter, softer shots that are perfect for portraits. It creates both vertical (best for portraits) and horizontal (best for landscapes) images. The film he uses is very expensive so you need to save on your shots and most importantly make sure you have enough natural light before shooting. My daughter has been using this camera for a year now and has taken many great shots (with a few mistakes here and there) but recently one day she fell down outside (on concrete) and the lens fell out but nothing broke. We put it back together with bated breath and miraculously it works perfectly and has no scratches! Overall, Fujifilm has done a great job updating the original Polaroid camera with this sleek new design that's user-friendly and makes it easy to get the "perfect shot"! Class A+

Pros
  • understandable even for old people
Cons
  • poorly thought out
